What bothers me is that our local HS 'science fair' team came home
with a high prize for building a car that runs on hydrogen produced
while the car is running. Only needs to be started and then produces
enough hydrogen to not only run but continue producing hydrogen.
Oddly the team leader was quoted "I am disappointed in that it doesn't
produce as much hydrogen as we expected". Didn't the judges ever hear
of 'perpetual motion'?

Blame it on the current bipartisan mantra being mindlessly repeated
everywhere today, the "win-win" proposition. Everybody wins, there *is*
such a thing as a free lunch, etc.
